Live Daily brings us a small new interview with Zooey and her She & Him co-worker M.Ward and tour dates for Volume Two.

Indie-pop outfit She & Him [ tickets ] will play a few headlining dates this spring in advance of the pair’s new studio album and subsequent appearance at April’s Coachella Music Festival.

The duo–singer/songwriter M. Ward and actress/singer Zooey Deschanel–show a pair of dates apiece in Los Angeles (3/15 and 3/25) and New York City (3/29, 30) next month, along with shows in Savannah, GA (3/27) and Pomona, CA (4/15), before tackling their April 16 slot at Indio, CA’s Coachella. Dates are shown at right.

The duo’s second studio album, “Volume Two,” is due in stores March 23. The album–along with its first single, “In the Sun”–can currently be pre-ordered from the act’s website. The new set follows 2008’s “Volume One,” which surprised many fans who only knew of Deschanel through her acting career.

“I had no idea what I was going to hear when I first got her songs,” said Ward in the band’s bio. “I think ‘Volume One’ surprised a lot of people when they opened up the package and learned that she wrote all these songs. There are a lot of people who write music so that they can take their audience to a dark night of their own soul or to get something really heavy off their chest. I don’t think Zooey looks at music that way, and I think that’s a huge part of where her songwriting is coming from.”
